01:23 wajasu tryin to run koha-dev (i.e. koha git),  did make, test, install and now trying to configure httpd vhost, but getting forbidden.
01:23 i'm pre-webinstaller
01:24 if my DocumentRoot files are not owned by root in the koha git that I pulled, could that be why I get Forbidden access via the httpd vhost?
01:36 masonj yeah, i think so
01:37 brendan hey masonj
01:38 do dates need to be zero padded for bulkmarcimport.pl  ?
01:38 I think I've just always ignored that... :)

02:56 irmalibraries Hi all...just coming to hang out a little
03:04 brendan joined #koha
03:19 wajasu when you run a koha git dev setup, do you run make as the non-root user that you pulled git with?  I need my httpd virtual host config to have permission to read/write  /home/USER/kohagit any suggestions?
03:25 Amit_G joined #koha
04:06 chris_n wajasu: I usually runn make as the user I develop with
04:06 or on production boxes as my kohauser
04:07 heya Amit_G
04:07 Amit_G heya chris_n
04:20 wajasu figured it out.  my /home/USER was drwx------ so it prevented me form walking the directory ad httpd. so i did chmod go+rx /home/USER

09:02 Genji hiya... can i use the same install of koha (same perl files, different template directory), with an altered koha-conf.xml and have another koha running?
09:04 magnus Genji: not quite that simple, i'm afraid...
09:04 i think the best thing to do is to have a dev install, and then choose different locations to install into
09:05 that way zebra can store it's files in different locations without too much of a problem

13:04 g'morning #koha
13:05 Ropuch Hi chris_n
13:10 jdavidb joined #koha
13:14 owen joined #koha
13:25 ebegin joined #koha
13:27 schuster joined #koha
13:36 * owen brought my stomping boots, but is helping interview catalogers later today
13:37 schuster Ooooo what a cheery uplifting experience catalogers are always so full of life. ...;)
13:38 owen They are now. It's later that we'll crush their spirit
13:38 schuster Ask them the really good questions...  So have you implemented FRBR before?
13:39 How would you implement RDA in an opensource environment.
13:39 Or throw them way off...  We've decided to do away with Dewey and use the Owenian shelving scheme and ask them if they have heard of it...
13:40 owen We actually have a question about FRBR and RDA on our list. I think it got put on their just so we could see their "deer in headlights" look
13:40 Geeze I'm having real grammar fails this morning. Gotta warm up my fingers a little.
13:40 schuster Yep that's how we all are I think...  speaking of - who is the best person in the community with MARC framework?
13:41 owen thd-away actually designed the MARC structures themselves I think, not sure who is best with the implementation
13:41 Probably gmcharlt
13:41 schuster owen - I've started playing with a kids interface and in a not to distant future will want someone - "you" to tell me what doesn't work or needs to be changed to keep it more in the community way.
13:42 I've decided to implement cookies as that can set the location and possibly other limits as the library needs.  Any concerns there right off?
13:43 owen Not based on that information
13:44 biglego joined #koha
13:44 schuster OK I should have a basic structure in a couple of weeks.  There are a couple of things that may be odd, ie once the items actually display and getting back to the kids interface where they went into the standard interface.
13:51 sekjal joined #koha
13:52 owen Hi sekjal
13:53 gmcharlt schuster: implementing RDA?
13:53 good question! :)
13:53 sekjal morning, owen
13:54 gmcharlt but as an initial step, there are some additional MARC21 tags that were added to support RDA fields
13:54 so initially, just means extending the MARC framework
13:55 however, that's truly minimal - if Karen Coyle and others have their way, RDA would be an opportunity to change rather a lot about how cataloging metadata gets exchanged
13:56 * owen pictures this Karen Coyle commanding a base inside a volcano in the Pacific
13:58 owen Anyone else run into this before? http://screencast.com/t/MDg3ZGZhYTAt
13:59 It happened after I turned XSLT on for OPAC results
13:59 gmcharlt it probably means that there's a syntax error in the stylesheet or that it's not findingit
14:02 owen gmcharlt: It was working just 5 minutes ago, no changes to any files
14:04 ebegin left #koha
14:12 owen Hm, the OPAC error log says "opac-search.pl: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at kohaclone/opac/opac-search.pl line 508"
14:15 * paul_p happy to announce that toins will be back to koha coding in the next few days !
14:15 paul_p (part time for instance)
14:23 nengard k - got a webinar to teach - be back later
14:24 nengard left #koha
14:29 owen Aha... OPAC XSLT results will not appear unless the  XSLTResultsDisplay (*not* the  OPACXSLTResultsDisplay ) preference is set
14:30 gmcharlt bug, then
14:31 owen Better a bug than insanity on the part of the user
14:38 jdavidb Delusional insanity is usually treatable, owen, except...oh..wait..
14:38 * jdavidb thinks of several people he knows in the library industry.
14:38 jdavidb Nevermind.  Bugs are easier.
14:40 wajasu running koha git.  configured defaultClassificationSource as lcc (not dewey decimal).  When I go to add an item, the 942 field doesn't default to it, and I have to select lcc (library of  congress classification). Is that correct?
14:43 chris_n a cool feature would be to have Koha generate bibliographic entries according to one's favorite formatting flavor (MLA, Chicago, etc) from lists
14:43 wajasu That when adding the biblio part. after the save, then the actual item does default correctly to lcc.
14:43 sekjal chris_n: agreed.
14:43 wajasu but that might be because of my selecting lcc
14:44 * chris_n was inspired by owen's post to David Bucknell
14:44 chris_n I can think of a boat-load of students who would be eternally grateful for such a feature
14:45 sekjal chris_n: it probably wouldn't be that technically difficult to do, once you had the profiles for the citation formats.
14:46 you may even be able to reverse it: take in a citation in MLA (let's say) in a text box, and have Koha tell you whether you have it or not
14:46 chris_n sekjal: yup... some sort of simple parser to do marc2foo
14:51 sekjal the real trick would be if we could get Koha to parse arbitrary citations (where the formatting could be weird/wrong).  saw something about doing that at Code4Lib last year...
15:02 * chris_n will add an enhancement req for it
15:06 schuster hmmm it already works with Zotero so it has the basics to pass...???
15:06 wizzyrea so... I think I've found a condition where fast server = mucked holds
15:06 esp if you have a very active DB
15:06 chris_n schuster: is that re: form and style?
15:07 owen What kind of mucked holds wizzyrea ?
15:07 wizzyrea I need help proving it, I've got evidence but no hard data
15:07 the kind you see: weird priorities, first available above only item, duplicate items sent to fill the same hold
15:07 owen We've got all that!
15:08 wizzyrea and mostly on very hot titles
15:08 right?
15:08 owen I don't know that it's limited to hot titles or not, but I've definitely seen it on hit titles.
15:09 wizzyrea so here's my theory (well, it's aided by other, bigger brains than mine, I just connected the dots)
15:10 our problems got a lot worse after we were migrated to a much higher performance server
15:11 where pretty much everything is held in RAM, transactions are super fast
15:11 so imagine if you will the following scenario
15:11 owen Oh my god, holds are traveling back and forth through time!
15:12 wizzyrea you have a bib with 40 items (HAHAHA owen...)
15:12 you have 31 libraries
15:12 you have every library picking holds/processing the return bin all at the same time
15:12 library 1 and library 2 pull the same title at the same time
15:12 check it in
15:13 what should happen is that there should be some queuing right then, but I don't think there is
15:13 I think if they are close to simultaneous, you can get the different items assigned to the same targe
15:13 t
15:14 and any other wierd manipulation of the queue list for a title you can think of
15:14 so, say an item is checked in and a hold is deleted close to simultaneously
15:14 am I out of my mind?
15:14 it sort of explains everything
15:15 so... it's not explicitly the code, if that makes sense
15:15 owen It sounds like it might explain the duplicate consigned items, but I don't think it can explain the multiple priority ones and the weirdly high priority numbers
15:17 wizzyrea but what if you have 4 different operations working on the same bib at the same time?
15:17 seems to me like that's a recipe for queer behavior
15:18 all advancing/editing/changing status of items
15:19 sekjal wizzyrea: sounds like a theory worth investigating
15:19 owen I suppose you could test by checking in two copies of an on-hold item simultaneously on two workstations
15:20 Synchronized circ
15:20 sekjal owen: the latest Library Olympics game!
15:21 wizzyrea hehe
15:22 schuster I have not played with Zotero much lately...  I know nengard knows it quite well.  what are you asking form and style?
15:22 brendan left #koha
15:23 wizzyrea yea, that's my problem, I don't know how best to test it
15:25 1. I don't have a super fast epic machine that can hold all of mysql in RAM 2. how exactly do you emulate 31 libraries processing items simultaneously
15:25 my creativity is failing me here
15:29 sekjal when I was looking at holds a couple weeks ago, there were a couple bad calls in Reserves.pm to _FixPriority().
15:29 gmcharlt I think wizzyrea has been testing fixes to that, but it didn't help completely
15:30 sekjal gmcharlt: ah, okay, I lost track of where we were with that
15:32 wizzyrea not completely :/
15:32 our situation is... this really started  happening in earnest when we were moved to this high memory instance
15:32 our problems
15:32 and this is on OLD code
15:32 not even the new stuff
15:33 I mean, for load testing we have a pretty good production setup
15:35 nothing like a bunch of users to mess things up :_
15:35 :)
15:35 (I love our librarians, they're smart and capable and wonderful. They give the best problem reports)
15:35 (even though we hate getting problem reports
15:35 )
15:40 brendan joined #koha
15:42 owen wizzyrea: FWIW, I tried doing a simultaneous checkin of two copies of an on-hold title
15:42 wizzyrea anything?
15:42 or it worked right
15:42 wajasu thinks it would be nice to have a call number creation helper when adding a new biblio/item according to the default classification rules. (i.e. lcc)
15:43 owen I did get matching "hold found" messages, but nothing out of the ordinary even after confirming simultaneously
15:43 wizzyrea wait wait
15:43 wajasu maybe with the virtual shelves as well
15:43 wizzyrea ok
15:43 you got IDENTICAL hold found messages?
15:43 what happens if you accept and transfer both
15:43 so did one of them error out?
15:43 what are the statuses like?
15:43 owen Only one got allocated.
15:44 wizzyrea but you could print slip and transfer
15:45 for bnoyth
15:45 both
15:45 so as a staff member
15:45 you see that message
15:45 and you act
15:45 owen Right, so it would explain why an item would get sent and then get no message upon check-in.
15:45 wizzyrea ok, so that's a good thing to know
15:46 what version do you have owen?
15:46 owen 3.01.00.061
15:47 wizzyrea so you're a little bit ahead of me
15:47 30ish DB revisions
15:47 owen I suppose the next time one of your librarians received a book with a hold slip which didn't prompt them for any hold you could check the statistics table for when that item was last checked in, see if another of that biblio's items was checked in at the same time
15:48 Kind of tedious, but...
15:54 wizzyrea hmm true
15:56 owen I'm not sure how you would solve the problem... Add some kind of logic to the hold confirmation process to warn the user if that hold had already been filled?
15:57 * paul_p apologize not to be with you for this squashing session, but with my home being robbed, i'm tired & many sleeping hours late :'(
15:57 owen What a terrible thing to experience paul_p! :(
15:58 paul_p owen: true.
15:59 gmcharlt paul_p: I'm sorry to hear that
16:06 wajasu using the koha git, and staging my 16000 marc records, when its done, it returns all 16000 on page 1, but chunks for latter pages numbers. that changed from 3.0x? 16000  on the resulting page is maybe too big?
16:06 brendan sorry to hear that paul_p
16:06 best of luck to you
16:14 chris_n sorry paul_p
16:15 * chris_n hopes they catch the scoundrels
16:16 paul_p chris_n: The scientific police has found 3 fingerprints on the window they broke to enter, so maybe...
16:18 just for fun : here in France, the "NCIS" tv series is quite famous. Our 2 oldest boys were expecting someone like on the TV coming. They were disappointed to see a single person, completly common, without any sign or tee-shirt, or gun,... :D
16:20 owen paul_p: If they were a little older they'd be wishing it was the Abby character who visited ;)
16:20 wizzyrea owen: I don't know what the code looks like for holds, so i'm speculating wildly on this
16:21 paul_p owen: Simon (almost 15) like Abby, but is not really a gothic fan ;)
16:21 * wizzyrea flaisl her arms
16:21 wizzyrea flails even.
16:21 but what about this
16:21 owen It's hard to type when you're flailing
16:21 wizzyrea instead of waiting for the user to say "yes, confirm this"
16:21 confirm by default, then UN do if the hold is denied by the user
16:22 so, the moment it pops you a message
16:22 it should say "print slip"
16:22 or ignore
16:22 paul_p wizzyrea: nicomo already asked for this (it's gmail behaviour). But it's VERY complex to implement in fact. really
16:22 wizzyrea i believe it
16:23 but... ahem... other ILS's don't have this problem :(
16:24 nicomo wizzyrea: it seems you and I and many others have expectations biased by the Google Gods
16:25 wizzyrea nicomo: I have an expectation that when 2 items are checked in at the same time for a hold, only one of them has the option to print slip and transfer
16:25 :)
16:25 nicomo see, just what I was saying
16:25 ;-)
16:25 wizzyrea lol, so how does google do it >..
16:25 >.>
16:25 how DO they DO IT
16:25 :D
16:26 * wizzyrea made herself laugh
16:26 nicomo which is always good, to a point... don't scare your co-workers though
16:27 wizzyrea lol they're used to me giggling at virtual things
16:28 what I'm saying is that the moment an item is checked in, if it is to fill a hold, it needs to lock it's item rightthen, until the user decides what to do
16:29 flip a bit saying "in process" or something
16:29 or waiting user
16:29 nicomo +1
16:29 owen wizzyrea: But think about the simultaneous check-in scenario:
16:30 One item gets allocated for the priority 1 patron
16:30 The other item gets allocated for the priority 2 patron.
16:30 wizzyrea the user with the dupe would get another message saying "check this item in again, that item is not available"
16:30 owen The first item gets its allocation cancelled
16:30 wizzyrea or that hold isn't available, I mean
16:31 owen That's assuming there is only one hold
16:31 wizzyrea flip the bit back to "ready"
16:31 you have ready for hold, and waiting user
16:32 basically, if there is a wait status (a message on the screen) the item should be unavailable to all other clients
16:33 other clients are free to pick from any other item to fill holds, just not that one
16:33 (or any with wait messages)
16:33 i know, it's impossible to implement
16:33 nicomo holds give me headaches, to tell you the truth
16:34 wizzyrea they give everybody headaches
16:34 owen ditto
16:34 nicomo really? Now I feel better already
16:34 :-)
16:34 wizzyrea :)
16:35 nicomo wizzyrea: I see your point, but I'd say you need to really think it through; with holds, sideeffects happen really quickly
16:35 wizzyrea ok, so barring a technical fix (which I contend will *have* to be done sooner rather than later) -- how do you mitigate this problem?
16:35 hehe, yea, we've noticed that
16:37 I mean, with 31 (soon to be 33) libraries, all open between 8am and 8pm, how do we reduce the number of times a duplicate item is sent to fill any given hold?
16:38 tekonivel joined #koha
16:41 nicomo wizzyrea: such a good question everyone went silent
16:41 Sharon joined #koha
16:42 wizzyrea the chances of items from the same bib getting scanned in our system is alarmingly high
16:43 (that is to say, it happens daily)
16:46 gmcharlt and patrons have an annoying habit of all wanting the Harry Potter du jour ;)
16:46 wizzyrea yea, and it really sucks to have a popular title out of commission because of a dupe hold :(
16:46 er, dupe transit
16:47 takes an item out of circulation for at least 3-4 days while it's finding it's way to it's next proper location
16:47 (assuming that it's not chain-duped, of course)
16:48 schuster I have forced copy specific holds - and people are using our webself check option but holds continue to pop up that should be copy specific so there may be something else yet amiss.
16:48 The pop up says this title is on hold for... but it can't be as it was a copy specific request.
16:49 wizzyrea that sounds like human error to me -- where someone placed a title level hold by accident
16:49 oh wait you said you disallowed that
16:49 never mind

17:28 schuster Very odd thing...  I have a title Polio - Hecht - that on the bib display has one item on it - but in the summary display has 5...  What's wrong with this picture?
17:28 When I edit the record there is only one item but when I search by barcode for an item that isn't displayed it brings up this bib...???
17:29 catalog.pisd.edu - search polio and then look for the one by hecht
17:30 wizzyrea schuster: almost every time I've had a funky display like that flipping the framework for the bib helped (it rewrites the record). you can then flip it back to whatever framework it was originally.
17:32 schuster hmmm reindex required?
17:33 wizzyrea I don't think so, but I don't know for sure
17:33 schuster I've got a log in with our support company to see what they say.
17:33 wizzyrea (and that hasn't fixed every one of them, some we had to have help with, and they didn't tell us what they did)
17:34 schuster that was helpful...

19:36 jdavidb That first select you did, magnus, returned 62 "0" and 90 "1" values, on one of my test instances, but it's not at 3.2A
19:37 magnus thanks, jdavidb - it looks like the most instersting question is if you have changed any prefs with the new syspref editor?
19:38 jdavidb On a 3.2A, I get 1 NULL, 90 "0" and 54 "1" values.
19:38 I haven't, but the 3.2A box is jwagner's sandbox, not mine.  She *might* have.
19:39 magnus could you try and change something and then change it back and do the sql again?
19:39 jdavidb Sure, just a moment.
19:41 Same result; I checked to make sure I had dinked a YesNo-defined var, too.
19:42 TagsModeration is my NULL one.
19:42 magnus hm, strange!
19:43 jdavidb sysprefs.sql defined it that way; this is a fresh installation.  (or was, when I did it.)
19:44 Probably want to patch that to make it zero by default, rather than NULL, just for tidiness' sake.
19:44 nengard hi all - i need at least one more koha tip article and one more article with news from a koha library - any takers??
19:45 * jdavidb heard "koha tip article" and couldn't help thinking, "if you stand a Koha server on the smallest side, it will tip over more easily."

20:29 sekjal left #koha
20:29 psychokiller i think i i didnt go beyond 1.6
20:30 * owen thought Ubuntu had Perl by default
20:30 psychokiller it has ?
20:30 but the install txt
20:30 says to install it
20:31 * owen has only installed Koha from scratch a couple of times, could be wrong
20:31 rhcl If you do >perl -version, from a console, it shows perl is not installed?
20:31 psychokiller that is a normal Ubuntu ?
20:31 sorry but don't i have to insTALL koha
20:31 on a UBuntu SERVER ?
20:32 instead of plain desktop Ubuntu ?
20:32 owen You can install on Ubuntu Desktop if you want to
20:32 That's what I test Koha on.
20:32 psychokiller i can ?
20:32 anyway perl is on Ubuntu server
20:33 but what is the STEP-By-step procedure ?

20:43 Hi wizzyrea
20:44 joetho schuster: see pm
20:45 Ropuch Anyway: in this guide I'm using standard Ubuntu desktop install, but I believe any missing dependencies will be installed by apt
20:49 wajasu joined #koha
20:49 owen psychokiller: I would imagine the web it full of Ubuntu install guides which cover installing Apache, Perl and MySQL. I somehow managed it.
20:49 psychokiller thats not my problem
20:49 owen If google translate does a bad job on Ropuch's guide you could do some searching
20:49 psychokiller i have installed XAMP
20:49 and other
20:50 im installing the polish one
20:50 owen I would recommend installing things the Ubuntu way rather than XAMP.
20:51 wajasu running koha via git.  I can't seem to figure out how to print a barcode label.  by what link/path?
20:51 owen wajasu: Tools -> Label creator
20:51 schuster do you have the quick spinelabel option turned on in cataloging syspref?
20:51 wajasu new batch?
20:52 i did do a quick spine label. (no barcode)
20:53 Ropuch owen: i started by writing guide hot to install & configure VirtualBox on Windows and then Ubuntu inside it
20:53 wajasu i see.  add batch, they search and select
20:56 i'm running schroot, with aufs  (arch32 --> koha perl --> kohagit  stacked via aufs).  Its fast and less disk space.  Now I have a schroot aufs stack with archlinux64 --> koha perl -->kohagit.

21:31 ill tell you if it goes smoothly in a while
21:32 so how is Poland this year ?
21:32 still hating the Russians ?
21:32 Ropuch hehe
21:32 Some people do, some don't, some don't care
21:32 ;>
21:33 psychokiller yes but 'officialy' you have to hate Russians ? don't you ?
21:33 Ropuch Lol, no
21:33 psychokiller come on ... that's what they teach you in school
21:33 Ropuch 20 years ago we 'officialy' had to love them
21:33 psychokiller in history lessons
21:33 well not russians per se
21:34 that was the CCCP
21:34 Ropuch psychokiller: I must have ben reading another books
21:34 psychokiller it was Lenin after all who was the first statesman to claim that the 3rd partition was null!
21:34 come on now guys
21:34 he did it
21:35 ok i admit he made a wrong invasion in 1920-21
21:35 but he laid the ground for polish independence
21:35 Ropuch We have different definitions of 'independence' then
21:36 joethoks_away GO PSYCHOKILLER GO
21:36 jk
21:36 Ropuch But I still don't hate russians :)
21:36 psychokiller you're polish you hate Russian by definition
21:36 lol
21:37 joethoks_away now now now.
21:37 Genji joined #koha
21:37 joethoks_away That would be an american phrase, meaning "get back to being productive and happy"
21:37 Ropuch Yea, yea, I;m polish, which mean I'm drunkard and stealing cars in Germany is job, i hate russians, eat only sausage, drinks wodka instead of morning coffee
21:37 joethoks_away See how easy that was?
21:37 Thank you.
21:38 Ropuch :)
21:38 psychokiller no actually i know only ONE stereotype for Poles
21:38 that is THEY HATE RUSSIANS
21:38 dont know much...
21:38 lol
21:38 Ropuch Oh, that's quite light-stereotypes
21:39 psychokiller so Poles are stealing cars in Germany ?
21:39 never heard of that I thought Greeks where doing that
21:39 *were
21:39 Ropuch Being accused of hatingrussians is not that bad comparedto being perceived as filthy barrbarin drunk thief ;>
21:39 Well
21:40 psychokiller are poles going to Germany ?
21:40 joethoks_away <---clears throat, loudly
21:40 Ropuch ;>
21:40 psychokiller have they surpassed the greek and the turkish community there ?
21:40 Ropuch psychokiller: dunno actually
21:41 Once I've read some german joke" "Visit Poland during holiday, your car is already there"
21:42 psychokiller ha
21:42 Ropuch ha
21:42 psychokiller that's just racist jokes
21:43 we have same jokes for Albanians here
21:43 dont like em
21:43 actually i would rather beat some asses of those who spread em
21:43 well actually the fucking germans shouldn complain to much
21:43 as they start a war every 30 years
21:44 sorry about that...
21:44 Ropuch But if I came to your country and I'll get a job and will be working hard, be good neighbour you don't say" "poles are good and hard working people"; if I'' go to your countryand rob your houes, you'll probably generalize" poles are thieves" ;>
21:44 psychokiller I wouldnt do that
21:44 Ropuch psychokiller: let's cut ther discussion here
21:44 richard careful psychokiller, there are people from nationalities here
21:44 psychokiller ok
21:44 sorry
21:44 Ropuch This channel is not about nation steretypes and hatred
21:45 psychokiller sorry
21:45 i apologize
21:45 joethoks_away Correct. Change subject back to Koha please.
21:45 Ropuch Besides - like richard said - we have people from all around the world
21:45 Anyway, psychokiller, how is your Koha install?
21:46 psychokiller well it seems i have reached a stupid step
21:46 the one of downloading koha itself
21:46 which i already have
21:46 so im waiting ....
21:47 wget http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.05.tar.gz
21:47 im in this step
21:47 but oh well that is pointless
21:47 because i already have the .gz thing
21:47 can i abort it from the console ?
21:47 Ropuch So you can skip it and proceed to next step
21:47 ctr+c
21:54 psychokiller ooops
21:54 perl Makefile.PL
21:54 i get this
21:54 Can't open perl script "Makefile.PL": No such file or directory
21:55 Ropuch Oh
21:55 cd koha-3.00.05
21:55 and than perl Makefile.PL
21:55 It was second part of step you skipped
21:55 bebbi joined #koha
22:00 psychokiller ha
22:00 you've written this ?
22:00 "Probably already drank tea"
22:01 well not Tea exactly
22:01 lol
22:01 Ropuch That was written by uncle google, but yes, the comments are mine ;>
22:02 I didn't want to write another technical install guide, my comments were meant to encourage people to proceed with install
22:03 psychokiller no no i was commenting about the Tea par
22:03 t
22:03 Ropuch I'm yet to find out if this approach is working
22:03 psychokiller Ropuch
22:04 i just entered
22:04 sudo make install
22:04 Instalujemy sudo make install Trochę to trwało, ale jesteśmy juz prawie przy końcu.

22:28 Ropuch cd ~/projekt-koha/koha-3.00.05
22:28 psychokiller aha
22:28 Ropuch And then make clean
22:28 psychokiller well it seems fine now
22:28 i did that
22:29 next ?
22:29 Ropuch rm -rf ./blib
22:29 just to be sure
22:29 psychokiller did that
22:29 nothing special
22:29 Ropuch And then unfortunatelly perl Makefile.PL
22:29 psychokiller but nothing weird either
22:30 done that
22:30 no error dispaly
22:30 *display
22:30 Ropuch You've done with basic configuration?

22:34 make: *** [blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml] Error 2
22:35 i assume it is the same error
22:35 not sure 'though
22:35 Ropuch It's the same
22:35 psychokiller so what is the remedy ?
22:35 Ropuch Can you run
22:35 df -h
22:36 psychokiller yes
22:36 Ropuch Maybe you've run out of disk space?
22:36 wizzyrea it looks like your config file didn't get written correctly

22:37 Ropuch I can't say really
22:38 I found similar error message: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/publ[…]April/017794.html
22:39 psychokiller: I'm really guessing here, but can you wget another tarball of koha?
22:39 psychokiller what tarball would that be ?
22:40 Ropuch Ok
22:40 cd ~/projekt-koha/ && rm -fr koha-3.00.05
22:41 Then start wit
22:41 With
